What would you expect?

B&G are getting married at a venue. They've booked the whole site out, which includes accommodation in the house or glamping.
I've been told by them that me and my sons are staying in the house.

No other details. Would you assume they are paying and that we are in one room together?

I called the venue and they tell me the clients just book the whole thing and what they do with it is nothing to do with them i.e. they can't tell me whether guests are paying for room or who's staying in what room.

I will ask them, but wondered what would be usual to expect. I don't care what room/s we have, but it would be nice to tell the boys. I DO care whether we are paying for the room/s!

FWIW, my boys are her nephews so pretty close family.

If I was told I was staying at a hotel I would expect that the bride and groom are paying.
You cannot tell a guest that and then expect the guest to pay it’s just rude.

Yes I'd expect that I was paying and sharing. Def worth getting that clarified!

I would expect I was paying but it’s very poor of them not to let everyone know costs before allocating rooms out, it might be out of your budget!

I would expect they are paying. If they wanted YOU to pay then I'd expect there to have been a message asking whether you'd like to stay at the venue at a cost of X amount for a room or make your own arrangements. To not ask beforehand and just assume you'll pay whatever the amount is would be rude - what if you can't afford it.

I would ask the question - something along the lines of 'can you let me know how much the rooms are so I can budget accordingly' which would be their opportunity to say they are paying. I guess it depends how old your sons are ... under 12 or so I'd say all in one room ... but again ask the question.

Mixed responses, thank you.
I asked. They are paying, but will invite guests to contribute towards the room cost if they wish. She did recognise that I felt awkward asking and that money talk is difficult.
I reckon it was up to them to remove any awkwardness.
I don't mind about the room, we can just see. They are mid teen and adult. All sharing is fine, though I did say she was welcome to stick the buggers in a tent!
